Sneak Peek, Character Posters Released For Heels After Comic-Con@Home Panel

Starz has released a new featurette and character posters for their wrestling drama Heels following their Comic-Con@Home panel. Starz released the featurette, which looks at the wrestling on the show, as well as the posters that you can check out below.

The wrestling-themed drama premieres on August 15th and stars Stephen Amell and Alexander Ludwig. Created and written by Michael Waldron (Loki), the series has Mike O’Malley as a showrunner and is described as follows:

Heels is a story about the men and women who chase their dreams in the world of small town pro wrestling. Set in a close-knit Georgia community, it follows a family-owned wrestling promotion as two brothers and rivals war over their late father’s legacy. In the ring, somebody must play the good guy and somebody must play their nemesis, the heel. But in the real world, those characters can be hard to live up to — or hard to leave behind.

The drama series also stars Alison Luff as Staci Spade, Jack’s wife who learns that she has to contend with the emotional stakes her in-laws have invested in their wrestling goals and the demands it puts on her family; Mary McCormack as Willie Day, Jack’s business partner and the logistical brains behind the local wrestling organization; Kelli Berglund as Crystal Tyler, Ace’s valet and love interest; Allen Maldonado as Rooster Robbins, one of the best wrestlers in the circuit who always has something to prove and always backs it up; two-time Super Bowl champion James Harrison as Apocalypse, a been-around-the-block journeyman wrestler who’s been at it for decades and has no illusions of fame or glory; and Chris Bauer as Wild Bill Hancock, a larger-than-life former wrestling star who is now a high-level pro wrestling scout.
